a sector of a circle of radius 7.2cm which subtends an angle of 300° at the centre is used to form a cone. What is the radius of the base of the cone?

A.

8cm

B.

6cm

C.

9cm

D.

7cm

Correct Answer: 6cm

Explanation

(r/L) = (θ/360°) Given θ = 300, and L = 7.2cm, => r = (300 x 7.2)/360 r = 6cm

(r/L) = (θ/360°) Given θ = 300, and L = 7.2cm, => r = (300 x 7.2)/360 r = 6cm
